Creating a Jira Service Desk project

Let's create a Jira Service Desk project in our instance. We've already enabled a Jira Service Desk subscription in our instance.

Perform the following steps to create a Jira Service Desk project:

1. Go to Jira settings | Projects  and then click on the Create project button in the top-right corner, as shown here:

You can start using this project straightaway as the IT service desk template comes with out-of-the-box configurations; however, we'll go through various aspects of the project to understand how you can customize it to make it more aligned to your specific requirements.
